This is one that the whole family will love! Sometimes, dinner isn't appealing to kids. That can be a tough deal for their parents, who just want them to eat what they need to stay healthy. With this dinner, you won't have any trouble at all getting even your picky eaters to eat! They'll likely even ask for seconds!
Plus, this recipe is cheap and easy. What isn't to love about it? During the week, busy families need easy recipes to keep them fed. This is especially true on nights with sports games, concerts, or other school events. You don't have time to spend an hour in the kitchen!
If you really need this recipe to be fast, you can leave out the baked beans. While we really think the baked beans are what bring this whole dinner together, we get that sometimes even a 30 minute meal is too long. Just the ranch fried chicken sandwiches can be prepared in 15-20 minutes. Unless you opt for frozen dinners, you're unlikely to find a meal as quick as that!
